I've shown a willingness to challenge you in certain areas and you don't seem interested in talking to me since then. I know others who have had similar experiences. That's why I downvoted, and why I assume others did as well.

Switzerland sounds about right. Hard to get over the crimes of the Vatican, Israel, and US.

Yea I'm still waiting for you to make a point that I can understand.

sorry I don't get the point - some people own lots of gold so elections don't matter? when you say the price is manipulated, are you talking about the government? because otherwise I don't know what that means. There is no objective price.

Sexual exploitation of men and boys in Calais migrant camp
Mister Mister replied to Troubador's topic in Current Events
I think women are trying to wake up the sleeping bear of European masculinity that feminism has drugged into a confused stupor. Unconsciously they realize that it's better to mate with domineering assholes than submissive pussies like so many modern men are. This whole migrant crisis is a giant shit test, either they provoke white men into protecting their women and their country, or they become the bed wenches of the new invading Muslim hordes. Either way it's a "win" for their genes. -
Everyone who's not an anarchist is a minarchist. Everyone fancies themselves a libertarian in the sense that they believe in freedom EXCEPT for the things the government obviously must do.

Hi there. I lived in S Korea for a couple years, and I actually discovered Stef there shortly after the last US Presidential election. I had a great life there, but I decided to leave because I really didn't like their approach to teaching small children, and I found relations with the expat community to be sometimes fulfilling, but often very shallow. What is your experience there? Has discovering the show changed how you see Korean society?

I'm going to be on Ukranian TV debating Trump vs Clinton...
Mister Mister replied to jroseland's topic in Current Events
That's awesome. It sounds like you have a good strategy. I would add that you ought to practice certain things you want to say, as you will be dealing with adrenaline, nervousness, increased heart rate, etc... I would also add that you should watch and learn from people who have been successful in this same area, inserting juicy soundbites against a biased moderator...Milo comes to mind. Just please don't imitate Alex Jones on Piers Morgan. -
That was the one I first found too!!!

Through the Wormhole With Morgan Freeman
Mister Mister replied to SoCaliGirl's topic in Men's Issues, Feminism and Gender
No. DNA has two strands, and in sexed species, one strand comes from each sex. In mammals, one sex impregnates the other, who carries the offspring to term. The fact that there are some rare anomalies and gray areas, doesn't invalidate the basic biological concept of sex. Nor does the fact that a duck-billed platypus exist, invalidate the concept of birds and mammals. Postmodernists want to use people who have illnesses as an excuse to push their idea that "gender is a social construct", that any standards of truth, morality, family, etc. are oppressive. -
Argument against the idea that philosophers should focus on universals

"Brian is evil" isn't a universal concept, it's a particular instance -

I can relate to this. Being yelled at to practice my instrument every day was not helpful towards my musical development. -
"Homosexuality and Pedophilia" Slippery slope arguement?
Mister Mister replied to Rummycat's topic in Atheism and Religion
I think there is a confusion of several ideas: homosexuality, homosexual rights, and radical, sexually permissive cultural Marxism. There are questions of how much is choice, how much genes, how much environment and so on. Religious fundamentalists who say it is all choice are totally full of shit. However, liberals who say it is entirely "born that way" are not necessarily correct either. It's possible that there is a good deal of choice, and the more that the gender wars escalate, and traditional monogamous heterosexual relationships become dangerous and put down, the more men and women will choose homosexuality. Total speculation, but it's something I've thought about. As far as homosexual rights, there are varying degrees. It used to be that gays were just pushing back against violence, when cops used to raid gay bars and beat the crap out of them. In many parts of the world this is still a huge issue. Anyone with any ounce of compassion I think ought to at least recognize this as a big problem. A more delicate issue is the ordeal that children who are born homosexual go through in religious families who don't accept this choice. I remember a call with Stef, titled "coming out of the closet", with a young black man in this situation that was really heart-wrenching. This kind of shaming I think ought to be condemned, though I will say the open hostility towards Christianity from much of the gay community isn't helping. Then there is gay marriage which I consider a total non-issue. The huge majority of gays are not interested in either monogamy or adoption, they mostly just want to be "married" for certain legal/tax perks, which could be dealt with through private arbitration without going to the State. I used to support gay marriage until people started going around shutting down Christian bakeries and bed and breakfasts (but never Muslim ones) for refusing to bake a cake or perform a ceremony. Then there is the radical Cultural Marxism element, which is where the pedophilia issue comes in. It's true that you will see a push to "normalize" more and more degeneracy, while ridiculing and undermining traditional sexual relations, including an attempt to normalize pedophilia, which we are starting to see. I'm sure you all willl agree this is repulsive and should be completely rejected. There is also the issue of gay men and the "degenerate lifestyle". I think this is natural, given that there is no risk of pregnancy, and that men seem to be able to separate emotion and sex better. But what annoys me is the way, a small subversive element of the gay media portrays this as healthy for heterosexuals to pursue i.e. Sex and the City, Dan Savage, etc. Gays don't really have any position to talk about male/female relations IMO So it's a mistake to lump all homosexuality in with anti-family, moral relativist propaganda. Gays could be great friends of libertarian, alt-right, conservatives, whatever. Like Jews, I don't think they are people you want to have as an enemy - they tend to be high IQ and very creative. I think the key is to push back against certain subversive elements in the culture. Gays are people, they have a different perspective and can offer great things, but they are also capable of being wrong and should be subject to criticism like everyone else. Of course putting them in a protected victim class is not productive. I just think there is a sensible middle-ground, where we can recognize that a small % of the population has a natural tendency towards homosexuality, which is fine, but also celebrate and encourage traditional, healthy and positive male/female relations.- 16 replies
